Role
We are looking for a Senior Manager of Global Commercial Compliance to join our Global Commercial Compliance department, reporting to the Director of Technology Compliance. This is a remote or hybrid role if based in San Jose, California. You will lead and scale our global commercial compliance program across international, public sector, privacy, and AI-related assurance frameworks. In this role, you will drive strategy and operational execution for key customer and regulator-facing commitments, ensuring a strong, audit-ready posture across multiple global standards.
What You’ll Do (Role Expectations)
- Own and evolve the global commercial compliance strategy across international and public sector assurance programs to align with customer and regulatory expectations
- Build scalable compliance programs that unify requirements across frameworks like ISO, SOC, and PCI, incorporating privacy-by-design and AI governance
- Lead internal audit activities and end-to-end external assessments while serving as the primary liaison to third-party certification bodies
- Establish compliance health metrics and dashboards to track control performance, evidence maturity, and remediation cycle times
- Provide executive-ready reporting on compliance posture and risk trends to senior leadership and relevant governance bodies
Who You Are (Success Profile)
- You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
- You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
- You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
- You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
- You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field
- 7–10+ years of progressive experience in compliance, assurance, audit, or risk management, including leadership of global programs
- Working knowledge of frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 22301, SOC 2, PCI DSS, C5, and IRAP with the ability to support AI governance concepts
- Proven ability to manage audits end-to-end, including evidence strategy, control testing, and stakeholder coordination
- Strong track record of leading cross-functional initiatives in complex, fast-paced environments
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Relevant professional certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
- Experience building compliance infrastructure and maturing evidence quality within cloud and SaaS control environments
- Ability to influence at the executive level and drive alignment across Product, Engineering, and GTM stakeholders

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Commercial Relationship Manager
Frame your training plan around measurable outcomes
Designated sponsors require a detailed Training or Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) before issuing your DS-2019. Document specific relationship management competencies you'll develop, such as portfolio analysis, client retention strategy, or CRM platform proficiency, so the plan satisfies sponsor review.
Distinguish Intern from Trainee eligibility early
The Intern category requires current enrollment or graduation within 12 months. Trainee status fits professionals with a degree plus at least one year of work experience, or five years of experience without a degree. Misclassifying your stage delays sponsor approval.
Target host employers with cross-border client portfolios
Banks, regional lenders, and commercial real estate firms managing international accounts are more accustomed to hosting J-1 exchange visitors and structuring compliant training agreements. Search for roles where cross-cultural relationship skills are listed as a core requirement, not a bonus.
Use Migrate Mate to find J-1-aligned roles
Most job boards don't filter by J-1 host-employer compatibility. Migrate Mate lets you search Commercial Relationship Manager openings by employers with demonstrated exchange visitor experience, saving you from approaching hosts who've never navigated the DS-7002 or sponsor coordination process.
Confirm the host employer will coordinate with your sponsor
Before accepting an offer, verify in writing that the employer will complete the DS-7002, sign the training plan, and communicate directly with your designated sponsor organization. Employers unfamiliar with this process frequently stall or withdraw after an offer, costing you significant processing time.
Check whether your role triggers the two-year home residency requirement
Commercial finance training funded by your home government or tied to a shortage-skill field may subject you to the two-year home residency requirement under INA Section 212(e). Confirm your eligibility for a waiver with your designated sponsor before committing to a host employer.

Find Commercial Relationship Manager JobsCommercial Relationship Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to a Commercial Relationship Manager role?
It depends on your career stage. If you're currently enrolled in a business or finance degree program, or graduated within the past 12 months, the Intern category applies. If you've already completed your degree and have at least one year of relevant professional experience in commercial banking, lending, or client management, the Trainee category is the correct fit. Designated sponsor organizations such as Cultural Vistas or AIPT administer both categories.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for this type of role?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not the employer. The designated sponsor issues your DS-2019 form, reviews and countersigns your DS-7002 training plan, and monitors your program compliance. The employer where you work is legally the host organization. This distinction matters because you must secure both a willing host employer and an eligible designated sponsor before you can apply for the J-1 visa.
How do I find host employers who are open to J-1 exchange visitors in commercial banking or finance?
Most standard job listings don't flag J-1 host-employer willingness. Migrate Mate filters Commercial Relationship Manager openings to surface employers with relevant exchange visitor experience, so you spend less time approaching organizations that have never worked through the DS-7002 or sponsor coordination process. Look specifically for employers with international client portfolios or cross-border operations, as they tend to be more familiar with the J-1 host obligations.
What should the DS-7002 training plan include for a Commercial Relationship Manager position?
The DS-7002 must outline specific, measurable learning objectives tied to commercial relationship management, such as credit analysis, client portfolio oversight, loan structuring, or risk assessment techniques. It should identify the supervision structure, the tools and systems you'll use, and a phase-by-phase schedule. Vague plans stating only 'will assist with client relationships' are routinely rejected by designated sponsors; specificity about skill transfer is required.
Does a Commercial Relationship Manager role trigger the two-year home residency requirement?
Possibly. If your J-1 program is funded by your home country's government, or if your home country has designated commercial banking or financial services as a field in shortage requiring skills developed abroad, the two-year home residency requirement under INA Section 212(e) may apply. Your designated sponsor is required to notify you of this obligation on your DS-2019. If you're subject to it, you must return home for two years or obtain a waiver before changing to most other U.S. visa statuses.
